Leading MRO service
provider SR Technics has announced the redelivery of
an Airbus wide-body aircraft with a full VVIP cabin.
The aircraft
underwent a maintenance check, which required the
removal and re-installation of the VVIP cabin, in
addition to some minor repairs to cabin monuments.
Gregor Müller,
Head of the Interior Competence Center at SR
Technics, explained: “The challenge was to get the
cabin removed and then reinstalled in record time.
We were able to assemble a team of cabin experts and
came up with a unique process to minimize the time
required for the removal and reinstallation, taking
into consideration the individual cabin parts, which
have fragile surfaces. In the end, we removed the
cabin in five days and reinstalled in fifteen days,
completing the job in even less time than planned,
and because of the special setup, left the cabin in
perfect condition.”
The check was yet
another success for SR Technics. “The similar work
is often expected to take 90 days of downtime, the
standard market time for a job of this sort. Since
we can run 2-3 daily shifts here at SR Technics in
Zurich, we were able to offer the job in a timeframe
that is unique to this industry,” says
Michael Sattler,
Head of Aircraft Services at SR Technics. “For
anyone considered our proposal unrealistic, we
proved that we can deliver fast, as we completed the
work two days ahead of schedule, in just 41 days.”
As one of the
biggest independent MRO service providers with a
team of VIP experts, SR Technics combines technical
expertise with MRO speed, offering customers the
short downtimes while maintaining Swiss quality
standards.
“At SR Technics we
redeliver the aircraft on a defined day and not to a
calendar week with a delay buffer” says Michael
Sattler. “Even a short delay can mean a lot to
carriers, and with the next aircraft waiting
outside, we have created a lean setup and process
landscape that lets us use our capacity flexibly. We
even ramp up to a 24-hour shift model, if required,
to meet a tight deadline. This feature guarantees
that the customer will have the aircraft back in a
shortest time possible.”
Since SR Technics
began offering the VIP service at its facility in
Zurich, it has conducted a multitude of
governmental, VIP and VVIP aircraft maintenance,
additionally doing refurbishments while the aircraft
is on ground, minimizing the downtime.
“Speed, the Swiss
quality, maintenance expertise, a proven on-time
redelivery record, flexibility, the refurbishment
option and in the end, a perfect product redelivered
on time are just some of the reasons why customers
keep coming back,” says
Michael Gringmuth,
VIP Sales Director at SR Technics.
SR Technics
provides customized VIP modifications and
refurbishments based on the client’s request and
special needs. Whether the work involves single
cabinets, seat or divan designs, installations or
full cabin refurbishments, our skilled experts
ensure world-class quality standards and minimum
downtime. |
